A Florida judge is ordering that a primary election for a Tampa Bay legislative seat be pushed back until November.

Circuit Judge Angela Dempsey ruled Thursday the election for Florida House District 64 should be open to all voters regardless of party affiliation. She disqualified a write-in candidate because the candidate did not live inside the district that includes north Hillsborough County and northeast Pinellas County.

Dempsey also ruled that any ballots already sent out cannot be counted now.

This ruling is at odds, however, with a decision in another lawsuit. Circuit Judge George Reynolds ruled last week a law requiring write-in candidates to live in their district at the time of qualifying is unconstitutional.

Reynolds' ruling involved a write-in candidate running for Florida House District 96 in Broward County.
